Seated L-R - Peg, Jean, Sharon & Bob (Big Run)

     It's been brewing all week, like a stick of dynamite with a long fuse that had been lit, and it was about to explode.  On Saturday morning, Bill from Puddlejumper stopped by Big Run to invite us to a beach party.  It was about time!  The 5 boats, Big Run, Puddlejumper, Two By Two, Meant To Be and Chiquita have been in Plain Bay all week.  We kept running into each other on our excursions to shore or as we dinghy'd from boat to boat.  Ron from Chiquita and Bill had spent some time Saturday morning prepping the smoker grill on shore and returned to their boats.  I went over to Puddlejumper with the dinghy to tow the party raft to shore and returned to the boat. So around 1:00 pm Sharon and I decided to be the first and head into shore.  No sooner did we get to shore and the rest of the crews joined us.  You will note in the above photo we are relaxing in front of a home.  That is Frank and Peg's home whom joined the festivities.  Also joining us is Jean, the owner of the other home on the bay, the Sand Castle.  After spending the afternoon on the beach, we went up to Frank and Peg's house for a late afternoon dinner which included Peg's conch salad.  Despite all the winds we have been having, and today was no different, we have finally got the party started for the season - Bahama style!
